Sandals Resorts International has revealed plans to expand in St Lucia. The company currently owns and operates three resorts on the island – Sandals Halcyon Beach Resort, Sandals La Toc, Sandals Grande St. Lucian and Sandals St. Lucia Golf & Country Club at Cap Estate.
The expansions are in line with Sandals Resorts’ 40th Anniversary and the brand’s 30th year of operation in the island of St. Lucia, said the company in a statement.
Sandals Halcyon Beach resort will add 25new rooms in February 2023. The new development consists of 20 beachfront, two-story villa rooms featuring large balconies and five Rondoval™ suites.
Sandals Regency La Toc will offer a “resort within a resort” concept, comprised entirely of 20 Rondoval suites, with seven offering open air rooftop decks.
Set to open in 2023, the village will be built adjacent to the golf course, each with their own golf cart, luxury amenities including butler service, and dining and entertainment options.
Later phases will include additional spa facilities, new suite categories and a new golf course offerings.
The company said that the expansions will add over 350 construction and tradesman jobs into the local workforce including 120 butler positions with training by the Guild of Professional English Butlers.
Executive Chairman Adam Stewart said: “As we expand, we will grow from the top down. That means we lead with the development of suites, and here, Sandals is by far and away the most innovative resort company.
“Concepts such as our signature Skypool Suites with their infinity plunge pools that seem to blend in with the horizon, Over the Water Bungalows with their incredible views and glass floors, and our Rondovals are all suite categories that drive demand and generate the longest stays.
“That is good news for St. Lucia and good news for team members who train and earn the butler role.”
